Anyone done any headwork?

just about everything you can think of has been done, from port and gas flowed heads, and custom cams, to quad throttle bodies and bike carbs.
it depends on what you are interested in
I'm doing one right now! Have the NME cams from Matthew H, some CG10 pistons and got myself a "Dremel" and some tools for grinding and polishing the ports.
Don't have any experience doing this, but it's a nice job and in Holland there are only a few people tuning their CG13 engine, so it's unique in here. That's nice, but hard to get info.

hi roop, cams work well in the cg,s, headwork has limited bang per buck tho, imo
I think having a go is a good idea, but one thing you should get done by pros are the valve seats. As an example I recently had in a Toyota engine which had a rebuilt head and was lapped in by hand. To the eye it looked fine, but when it was put on a Serdi Valve seat machine and tested they were horrendous. They were out by several thou two seats had to be replaced entirely and when all the work was done the end result was a head that sealed better with the valves held in by gravity than they did with the he valves held in before by springs.
This is something which is almost impossible to get right at home.
